answers If the motor is to accelerate the elevator car upward at 1.8 m/s2, how much torque must it generate

Hello your question is incomplete attached is the missing diagram and solution

One elevator arrangement includes the passenger car, a counterweight, and two large pulleys, as shown in (Figure 1). Each pulley has a radius of 1.2 m and a moment of inertia of 410 kg⋅m2. The top pulley is driven by a motor. The elevator car plus passengers has a mass of 3000 kg, and the counterweight has a mass of 2600 kg.

a) If the motor is to accelerate the elevator car upward at 1.8 m/s2, how much torque must it generate? Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.

Answer : 6030 N.m ≈ 6000 N.m

Explanation:

To determine how much torque the motor accelerating at 1.8 m/s^s will generate we will have to determine T1 ( tension  generated for upward acceleration in the rope  ) and Tg ( tension  generated in the rope when there is a counterweight accelerating downwards)

Torque in the pulley (T2) = (T1 - Tg ) r

torque generated by motor = T1 + T2 = 1230 + 4800 = 6030 N.m to two significant figures = 6000 N.m

r = 1.2

a = 1.8

attached below is the remaining part of the solution

good looking response

b

step-by-step explanation: a third of 24 is 8, 8 times 3 is 24 so 8 - 2 would be 6
